Each report’s own period, as filed with the FEC; a report filed again counts once, as its latest copy.
Each loan as the campaign’s report through Dec 31, 2025 lists it, with what is still owed. A loan from an earlier cycle can appear here, and one repaid in full drops off the report, so the list need not add up to the row.
A donor who gave several times appears once. The 12 largest donors by total given are listed. In all, 102 itemized contributions were filed this cycle, totaling $89.2K.
The largest of the committees is listed. In all, 1 committee contribution was filed this cycle, totaling $5K. Counted from the givers' own filings, which can run above the total the campaign itself reports.
Total reported receipts $350,036
Every dollar the committee reported receiving this cycle, split by the source the FEC filing attributes it to. Open a source marked + to see who gave. FEC filings through Dec 31, 2025.

By the state each donor wrote on the filing, across 16 states and territories. Donors who have given $200 or less this cycle are not itemized, so they cannot be placed on a map. The FEC’s grouping also counts joint-fundraising memo lines, so these rows can add up to more than the itemized total.
